Parenthood Ramblings - 20

Yes, I understand that it's a WHO's directive to make breastfeeding of the newborns mandatory and the doctors specially paediatricians along with the various parenting websites are religiously following the directive. They are even going to the extent of glorifying the mothers who can express their breast milk to satiate the hunger of their newborn babies. But, what if a mother cannot express breast milk sufficient enough for her child? Does this make her a bad mother? According to the websites and the paediatricians, they are bad mothers. Even if they don't declare this openly, they are going to the extent of depressing these helpless mothers by publishing breast milk glorification articles one after the other. What I do not understand is the reason behind this activity. A new mother is already going through a lot of obstacles topped by the baby blues gifted by the C-Section Surgery. What's the point in killing her motivation again? A mother becomes a good mother if she can mould her child to become a good human being, not by merely expressing breastmilk and allowing the child to go astray.
